My main and continuing complaint with the Ribbon is that using it is slow. It encourages mouse usage and if you have to use a mouse for an operation, the operation is slow. Not to mention that the action of the Ribbon is kind of seizure inducing as the entire thing is in constant change as various objects are selected thereby unhiding specialized menus. I've taken to minimizing the entire Ribbon so I don't have to see it, requiring me to re-learn and re-memorize the multi-key keyboard shortcuts since they are different than the 2003 version. If I could kill the Ribbon with fire, I would.
